Food Addict? I think so.

I never thought I would ever admit to this, but I have to. It's in the title of my blog after all, and after what just happened a mere 10-15 minutes ago, I have no choice but to give in and accept the fact that I am, honestly, addicted to food.

Everyone knows how the 12-step program works for people who are in AA or NA. Step one: admit you have a problem. In a way, I guess the system isn't as flawed or pointless as I used to think it was when I was younger. It's the truth: how can you expect to help yourself if you don't even admit the problem you have?

To be fair, I never thought it was such a huge deal. Big deal, I like to eat a bit more than the next person. I'm not a binge eater; I don't sit and eat over 2,000 calories in one sitting, and I don't eat when I'm bored. The problem I have is that when I start eating, I can't stop. Or if I want a snack, I go for something completely unhealthy rather than looking more for a piece of fruit. It's a problem and it's the main reason why I can never lose weight, or stick to a plan. And it's also why whenever I exercise, the weight doesn't come off the way it should.

After tonight, I'm ready. I know I said it in my first entry, but it's nice to finally be able to admit to myself that I do have a problem, and it has to be addressed.

I'm done. It's time to get on the correct path and do what I have to do, which is develop more willpower and stay strong.
